Some norms that I realized in my group are pretty simple and normal. Every week, since we have close to the same schedule, we meet at the same spot on campus to eat lunch. Every monday at Mission Lanes, we all bowl because it's a dollar a game. And lastly, since most of my friends have dogs, every other day we take a trip to our local dog park and hang out for a couple hours. Other than our regular schedule norms we don't really have many other things.
One example when one of my friends broke the norm, was when he had just got a new girl friend. After he started going out with her more, we started to see less of him more and more. It was beginning to be a norm of not seeing him at all. But after they broke up, everything went back to normal like nothing ever change.

The same things happened in my group. As we all started to pair off with our respective girlfriends we would see less and less of each other and you cant help but get a little irritated. But you kind of see how your group evolves in order to adapt to the new “norms”. But then right as you are getting used the new way your buddy breaks up with her and like boom, all of the sudden you fall right back into your old routine like nothing ever happened. Although a lot of groups tend to have norms, I feel those norms evolve like everything else.
